Letter to Nicola Sturgeon

We were pleased to co-sign the letter organised by Murray Blackburn Mackenzie to Nicola Sturgeon. The letter challenges Ms Sturgeon to clarify her comments on 'forces that muscled into' Scottish politics, and particularly the GRR Act debate. We hope she replies and states clearly to whom she is referring.

The submission from Scottish Lesbians, The Lesbian Project and LGB Alliance has now been lodged with the Supreme Court, in advance of the hearing at the end of November. You can read it here: https://scottishlesbians.org.uk/resources

Scottish Lesbians, along with The Lesbian Project and LGB Alliance, has been granted permission to submit a written intervention in the case brought by For Women Scotland against the Scottish Government. The case seeks to clarify in law that sex means biological sex.

We have written to the First Minister, John Swinney, and Equalities Minister, Kaukab Stewart, expressing our concerns about the way a group of Scottish Lesbians were treated at Edinburgh Pride on Saturday 22nd June. We have asked for their comments on the events, and made a (second) request for a meeting with Kaukab Stewart to discuss our concerns.
